Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! FC Metz welcome Paris FC for this crunch clash at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Frederic Antonetti will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Dylan Saint-Louis is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Paris FC so far.
  • 15' Controversy at the stadium! Vincent De Marconnay argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 19' What composure from Habib Diallo! The Senegal international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 24' The travelling Paris FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 29' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 34' FC Metz have won 360 goals from 434 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 39' Poor challenge from Edmond Akichi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 44' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lalaina Nomenjanahary on 44.
  • 45' Poor challenge from Thomas Delaine. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Fabien Ourega suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Paris FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 67' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 68' A change in the Paris FC ranks — Fabien Ourega exits the field as Dylan Saint-Louis enters on 68.
  • 73' Edmond Akichi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 435 appearances.
  • 78' Marvin Gakpa makes way for Victorien Angban at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Metz.
  • 83' Emmanuel Riviere is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ibrahima Niane at the 83 minute mark.
  • 88' The crowd applauds Edmond Akichi as he leaves the pitch. Thomas Toure steps in for Paris FC.
  • 90' Abdoulie Jallow has so much to prove this time. He replaces Farid Boulaya on 90 minute.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — FC Metz 2-0 Paris FC.
